Photo-Reviewing: Tales of the Sleepless City

I
have recently bought a ton of books taking advantage of an offer at Chaosium.
As I have already said, it is going to take me a while to read them all and
besides, I have been told that there are some good books that I should read not
related with RPGs or the Mythos (if you have also heard about them, please let
me know since I am highly skeptical). However, I do have the time to take a few
pictures of those that have not already appeared at my two photo-review
reference sites: La Marca del Este and Susurros en la Oscuridad.

I am
starting with Tales of the Sleepless
City, a collection of six adventures by Miskatonic River Press taking place
in New York City. You could say that this book is news for two different
reasons. First, because it is the latest product released by MRP. Second,
because the layout and design was made by Badger McIness, who also made the
design for Cthulhu by Gaslight, and
who is going to be the designer for the imminent Call of Cthulhu’s 7th Edition (which is expected to
appear on Kickstarter this week). Truth is that with these two references, I am
sure that it is going to be a great book (at least regarding design, we will
talk about the rest once we know more). Well, it was not my intention to rant
about other books so here you have the pictures.

The cover, by Paul Carrik, is really good, but the pictures do not show it properly:

The back:

The index:

The cover of one of
the chapters (they are all identical, so I think I can skip showing you all):

Some sample page,
with maps from NY…

And with maps from
the different locations:

There are a lot of
pictures, really good ones, although not many are full-page:
